Remote+
Remote+ is a Mac companion app that works with Cherpake remote control apps to let you control a Mac from other Apple devices.
What is Remote+?
Remote+ is a remote-control utility for Mac that helps users operate a Mac from another device such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV. It is part of Cherpake's remote control app lineup and is designed for tasks such as using a wireless trackpad and keyboard, adjusting volume and media playback, launching apps, and running shortcuts from a paired controller device. The app fits home, presentation, and living-room workflows where you want basic Mac control away from the keyboard. Cherpake also provides helper and connection features for remote control across local networks. On macOS, users may encounter Remote+ when setting up remote input, media control, or custom control panels for apps and common actions.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Remote+ is legitimate remote-control software. For its purpose, access related to local network discovery, input control, accessibility features, or screen-related permissions can be normal on macOS. Because remote-control apps can send input to your Mac, only keep it installed if you use that workflow and only pair it with devices you trust on your network. If you stop using remote control features, removing the app may also stop any companion control functions that depend on it.
Recommendation: Keep Remote+ if you actively use your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple TV to control your Mac. If you no longer use those remote features, you can remove it to reduce background components and permissions tied to remote access.
